英语赏析 篇1

A Strange Present One day, when I was 14, my uncle sent me a pink T-shirt from ST.Louis, Missouri as my birthday present.On a beautiful Sunday morning, I wore this pink T-shirt and walked gently to the market.On the way, some boys whistled at me.I became very nervous, so I walked faster and more properly with more decorum, but more and more boys whistled at me later.Therefore, I couldn’t help but become more agitated.Suddenly, I turned back and run to my home.I asked my mother, “Why did the boys whistled at me?” My mother looked at my T-shirt with a smile and said nothing.Then I turned to my father.“Why did the boys whistle at me?” My father looked at my beautiful new T-shirt and then laughingly asked, “Are you lonely?” Suddenly, I realized why the boys were whistling at me.The message on my pink T-shirt was“I am lonely”.[注释]：

whistle: a small wind instrument for making whistling sounds by means of the breath 口哨

properly: characterized by appropriateness or suitability;fitting 恰当的decorum: the conventions of polite behavior 礼貌

agitated: 激动的，表现不安的Vacations in Space Want a ride in a spaceship? It will cost you about 20 million US dollars.At least that’s what Dennis Tito recently paid for a trip to the International Space Station.What if you aren’t rich, but still want to travel in space? Don’t worry.Research supported by NASA might make your dream come true.Scientists are refining a process that, if successful, will enable rockets to take off from the back of an airplane.If people do end up taking vacations in space, don’t worry about finding somewhere to stay.Businessmen like British Richard Branson are already thinking about building hotels out there.[注释]：

NASA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration(美国)国家航空航天局；美国航天及太空总署

end up: 结束；告终

Keeping Pleasant In these grim times, weighed down with tension and pressure from the realities of life, many people have lost their sense of humor.They tend to keep a straight face all day long and fail to keep life in perspective.They forget how to smile and finally become physical and mental wrecks.They regard life as a burden, and tend to look on the dark side of things.Well goes a saying, “Laugh, and grow fat.” Laughter releases tension, and smiling helps create a pleasant social atmosphere.And, thus, in a way, a sense of humor is an elixir that helps cure mental diseases.Some patients even improve their physical and mental health by reading humorous stories or watching funny movies.This proves that a sense of humor helps us look at the world in a true and healthy light and makes our life worth living.[注释]：

grim: rigid 无情的，严酷的

tension: uneasy suspense 紧张(状态)，不安

perspective: subjective evaluation of relative significance;a point of view 观点，评价； in dim bimbo 又笨又坏的女人

The Man I Respect Most My father is the man I respect most.Stern as he may be, he never fails to show his care and consideration.Once I broke a neighbor’s window.Seeing nobody around, I ran away immediately.When Dad came home, he noticed my uneasiness and asked me what had happened.I could only tell him the truth.Rather than scold me, he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize to our neighbor.I learned from this episode that not only does Dad take care of our health but he also teaches us how to be good citizens.How lucky I am to have such a good father!

[注释]：

stern : severe, strict 严厉的

consideration : careful thought;deliberation 体谅，考虑

uneasiness : 不安

episode : an incident or event that is part of a progression or a larger sequence 插

My Time of Happiness Each Day As a student, most of my time is spent on school work and other school-related activities.Consequently, my time of happiness each day is very limited.However, this is not to say that I am not happy every day.In fact, I really enjoy coming home from school each evening and having dinner with my family.After dinner, I read or watch some TV with my family.This is a happy time for me every day.But my happiest time of a day is just before I fall asleep.Lying in bed, I think about all I achieved that day, and it makes me happy to know that the day was full.[注释]：

consequently : therefore 从而，因此

achieve : to perform or carry out with success;accomplish 完成，达到

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening 《风雪夜 林边停》是一首著名的诗歌。写的是雪夜美景？写的是守诺如一？写的是 人生不得不向前行？不同的读者会有完全不同的理解。这大概就是文学批评中所说的“接受 美学”的观点吧。

Whose woods these are I think I know,His house is in the village though.He will not see me stopping here,To watch his woods fill up with snow.My little horse must think it queer,To stop without a farmhouse near,Between the woods and frozen lake,The darkest evening of the year.He gives his harness bells a shake,To ask if there is some mistake.The only other sound’s the sweep，英语晨读精华

Home—A Joy Forever Home means a lot to me.“Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home.” I appreciate the warmth of my home, and regard it as one of the brightest and dearest spots on earth.It is the place where I can take refuge whenever I meet with difficulties, failures and even frustrations in my daily life.At home, my dear parents and brothers and sisters will comfort me and cheer me up.And with their concern and encouragement, I will regain my self-confidence and muster up all my strength and courage to face the stern realities of life.To me, home is forever a joy where I can always find love, understanding, care and help.[注释]：

I chanced to rise very early one particular morning this summer, and took a walk into the country to divert myself among the fields and meadows, while the green was new, and the flowers in their bloom.As at this season of the year every lane is a beautiful walk, and every hedge full of nosegays, I lost myself, with a great deal of pleasure, among several thickets and bushes that were filled with a great variety of birds, and an agreeable confusion of notes, which formed the pleasantest scene in the world to one who had passed a whole winter in noise and smoke.The freshness of the dews that lay upon everything about me, with the cool breath of the morning, which inspired the birds with so many delightful instincts, created in me the same kind of animal pleasure, and made my heart overflow with such secret emotions of joy and satisfaction as are not to be described or accounted for.—Joseph Addison, Tulips

Exploring the Oceans

洋世界到底有多少未知的秘密? Ever wonder what lives in the Earth’s waters? Some 300 scientists from 53 different countries are wondering the same thing.For the first time in history, scientists are trying to count how many species of fish, animals and plants live under water.They are conducting a census of life in the world’s oceans, which cover 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface.The study began in 2000 and is expected to end in 2010, at a cost of US$1 billion.So far, scientists have counted more than 15,000 species of fish and around 200,000 species of animals and plants in the oceans.They expect to find at least another 5,000 species of fish.Scientists believe that the animals and plants they’ve found so far represent just 10 per cent of the world’s total underwater population.That means that they expect to find almost 2 million species of animals and 英语晨读精华

plants by 2010.“Our goal by 2010 is to know as much about life in the oceans as we know about life on land now,” says a marine biologist who is working on the project.The newly-discovered species are not all new species.Many of them have just never been recorded before.Scientists fear that the growing human population is decreasing the variety of species living in the ocean.They hope the census will help them learn how human activity, such as fishing and agriculture, is affecting the oceans.[注释]：

census : official counting of the information 普查，种群普查

conduct : to direct the course of;to manage or control 进行，主持

New Pictures of an Old Universe 这段科技文章看似复杂难懂，其实不难。读的同时不妨仔细分析这类文章的特点，这对 于在考试中阅读理解同类文章一定有帮助。

For thousands of years humans have wondered how and when the universe first began.Now, thanks to some photographs taken by Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe(WMAP), scientists are much closer to understanding, even seeing, the universe in its beginning years.This is all possible thanks to the WMAP satellite in orbit about one million miles above Earth.The satellite is specially designed to record one kind of cosmic energy: microwave radiation.It can use this radiation to show us what the universe looked like 13.3 billion years ago!

Wait a minute...how can this satellite show us a picture of the universe billions of years ago? The Big Bang created the universe in a huge explosion, and at the same time it created a specific field of radiation—called the cosmic microwave background, or CMB.This CMB still lingers in the universe today.What the satellite actually does is take pictures of the CMB.So what did scientists learn from these new pictures? First, they learned that stars formed very soon— merely 200 million years— after the Big Bang.And they were able to confirm estimates of the universe’s age: it was born about 13.7 billion years ago.This is the age that 英语晨读精华

scientists long suspected to be true, but now they have the birthday pictures to prove it!

Three Days to See 下面的文字摘选自海伦·凯勒的自传《假如给我三天光明》。海伦虽然自幼丧失了视力 和听觉，但却是一个生活在黑暗中而给人类带来光明的女性。她在1904 年获得学位，成为 优秀的讲师和作家。“我要把别人眼睛所看见的光明当作我的太阳，别人的耳朵听见的音乐 当作我的乐曲，别人嘴角的微笑当作我的快乐。”她接受了命运的挑战，获得了超越自己的 喜悦。我们为之感动的不仅是文字本身的优美和其中所含的真情，还包括字里行间所反映的 那颗伟大心灵。

Most of us, however, take life for granted.We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future.When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable.We seldom think of it.The days stretch out in an endless vista.So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.„

I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight;silence would teach him the joys of sound.Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they 英语晨读精华

see.Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed.“Nothing in particular,” she replied.I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such reposes, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch.I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf.I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough, shaggy bark of a pine.In the spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter’s sleep.I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions;and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me.Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song.I am delighted to have the cool waters of a brook rush through my open finger.To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.To me the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.——Helen Keller

英语赏析 篇2

广告英语在英语语体中是一种独特的语类, 文体学上一般将它分成两种体式:书面广告体和口语广告体 (D.Crystaly与D.Davy在“Investigating English Style”一书中将广告英语分为“电视广告”与“报刊广告”) 。由于口语广告多依附于图像等其他表现形式, 本文主要介绍英语书面广告语体语言的特点。

1.英美现代广告学认为广告的作用在于:Information (提供信息) , Persuasion (争取顾客) , Maintenance of Demand (保持需求) , Creating Mass Markets (开辟广大市场) , 以及保证质量。完成其作用的基本手段是语言。广告英语为了更有效地完成以上五个方面的任务, 必须注意语言的感召力 (Appeal) , 首先必须大众化, 这也就是书面体广告语使用非正式体英语的基本原因所在。

Think about all this.And ask yourself…isn’t it worth finding out more about it?Of course it is.And there is no time like the present…so get that pen out now, and fill in the coupon right away.Or call in and talk things over at your nearest R.A.F.Career Information Center and discuss the question there.

该例引自G·N·李奇《广告英语》, 体现谈话体英语的平易。现代广告力求使口语流畅且带有亲切感。广告中流行的所谓“女性英语”就充分体现了可感的语言风韵。

2.一个世纪前的英语广告几乎完全是纪实性的, 现代广告则充斥着浮夸词语, 除人称代词 (尤指第二人称) 外, 用的最广的是形容词及副词 (尤指最高级) , 其次是各式的动词形容词用的最多的则是描述性的形容词和名词化的形容词 (如the fair, the real) 及形容词化的名词 (如a luxury sports car中的luxury and sports) 。然而, 还有一类招聘, 招标广告不同于商品推销广告。这类广告纪实性很强, 很少使用描绘性形容词及最高级形容词和副词。其动词具有明显的特点, 即广泛使用将来时, 被动式和“to be+infinitive”式。

3.一般来说, 广告英语的句子较简短精练, 讲究干脆有力。忌用结构盘错的长句, 复合句。省略句, 离间句, 祈使句, 则得到广泛应用。

首先, 省略句可节约广告费用, 又达到广告目的, 不失为上策, 另外省略句也有其独到的表现力和感染力, 这尤为重要。例如:

⑴Souther Comfort酒广告

Just try Souther Comfort.

⑵PIAGIT手表广告

More than a timepiece。An acquisition

其次, 为了强调句子某个部分, 利用句号, 破折号, 分号或连字符号将其与句子分开。既新颖别致, 又节省广告费, 达到最佳效果。

Looks lastly tempting.

Longer.

4.修辞 (Rhetoric) 手法在广告英语中的运用, 它着重围绕广告学中的三个中心问题, 即:商标, 公司和价格。一则广告也许正是因为运用了修辞才使人觉得优美动人, 回味无穷。

〈1〉玩弄词藻 (play with words)

1) 堆砌形容词和形容词的最高级

Incredible sale:beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lynx and mink, top quality, latest styles fur garments (服装广告)

采用堆砌beautiful和top, latest最高级的方式来描述服装, 使其充满了诱惑力。

2) 夸大其辞, 以耸听闻。

Our Sunday Brunch Buffet Is A Legend In Its Time (餐馆广告)

When your anger becomes a volcano... (药品广告)

“锐步”运动鞋——

Five feet nine inches in his socks.

Ten feet tall in his shoes.

译:光脚身高五英尺九英寸。穿上“锐步”身高10英尺。

这种夸张的手法正是广告设计师所要达到的效果, 正因为如此, 才使读者留下更为深刻的印象和记忆。然而, 这种手法也有其弊端, 过于夸张会给人浮夸不实的感觉, 从而失去信任。因此, 只有不愠不火, 才会“功成名就”。

3) 用押韵法 (Rhyme Schemes)

押韵可分为头韵 (Alliteration) 和尾韵 (Rhyme) 。英语中常见的头韵, 即单词的第一个音相同或特别相近。广告中的头韵、尾韵能赋予广告以诗意。如:

Spend a dime save your time押尾韵 (电器广告)

Wipe it on, Windolence

Wipe it on, windolence

That’s how to get your windows clean

Wipe it off, no delay

So easy with new Windolence, Windolence

这则广告是Windolence擦窗器广告, 其中wipe和Windolence押头韵 (Alliteration) , 而第一, 二, 三, 六行以[in]押尾韵, 整个广告象首诗, 读起来朗朗上口, 易于记忆。

〈2〉使用警策句, 以发人思考, 从而达到宣传商品的目的。

No dream is too big. (高级轿车广告)

If you think getting only one cavity a year is OK,

By 2010 you will have 10 holes in that theory.

(牙膏广告)

有时套用一些名言或谚语:

To smoke or not to smoke, that is the question。

(香烟广告)

套用Shakespeare的名言“To be or not to be, that is the question”但这种语言形式应慎用, 否则将是对经典文化的亵渎和误导。

〈3〉现代英语广告更出现了新的形式和语言特点, 采用一些诙谐的, 巧妙的表达方式来实现广告本身的目的要求。

1) 塞德兹—奔驰汽车——

Feel like a million for$970, 000 less.

It cost less than breakfast at the White House.

译:少付了97万美元, 却得到百万美元的享受。它比白宫的一顿早餐还便宜。

2) 约翰逊的钓具——

With our line, you detect the fish before the fish detects you.

译:用我们的钓线, 你可以在鱼儿发现你之前先找到它。

3) 港尼尔普莱德游泳衣

If your own skin isn’t protection enough, get another

译:如果您的皮肤不能给你足够的保护, 就再找个保护层吧。

这种风格的英语广告正是伴随着人们紧张的工作和生活而产生的, 工作之余, 大脑疲惫, 这种轻松, 幽默的语言形式和特点正适合了人们的放松需求。从而达到事半功倍的效果。这也正是其简单而又最不简单之处。

根据语言特点来设计广告, 通过广告英语的特点来了解和学习英语, 提高广告的欣赏能力和学习英语的兴趣, 使广告英语成为一种学习资源和英语运用的方式。不失为提高英语水平的有效途径。

总之, 无论从语言和形式, 广告英语都有其本身而又区别与任何其他应用文体的特点。而随着广告业的发展和各种媒体传播形式的多样化, 英语广告的形式和广告英语的运用将不断更新和丰富, 一些英汉结合甚至多种语言结合的广告, 多图文并茂的广告, 以图代言的广告, 运动的广告, 化抽象为具体、化具体为抽象的广告……必将令你目不暇接。广告业迅速发展已成为社会现代化的一种标志, 广告设计也必然成为一种艺术、文化和科学的融合体, 作为载体的文字不再是唯一的一种表达方式和工具, 但仍不失其画龙点睛的作用。

英语赏析 篇3

上述句式中的绝大多数都是读者所熟悉的，因此运用起来并不困难，唯独圆周句和松散句可能对读者来说相对比较陌生。在本文中，笔者就以《新概念英语》中的句子为例着重讨论这两种高级句式。

首先，我们来看何为圆周句和松散句，并以《新概念英语》中的句子为例来具体分析这两种句式结构。

在圆周句中，主要信息或实质部分迟迟不出现，形成一种悬念，藉以抓住读者的注意力。随着句子一步步展开，一层层深入，整句的关键意思在句末有力地表达出来。

例1 The more expensive kind of antique shop where rare objects are beautifully displayed in glass cases to keep them free from dust is usually a forbidding place.

高档一点的古玩店为了防尘，把文物漂亮地陈列在玻璃柜子里，那里往往令人望而却步。（选自《新概念英语3》第34课）

分析：这句话里相继出现了多个动词，因而会给读者造成理解上的困惑：到底哪个才是谓语动词？我们不妨先把主语找出来。不难发现，该句主语是“高档一点的古玩店”（the more expensive kind of antique shop）。句子中间的where从句是修饰主语的定语从句。作者想表述的中心意思是“这些古玩店令人望而却步”，而“令人望而却步”（is usually a forbidding place）这个重点信息却直到句末才出现，读者读到句子末尾才能了解整个句子的中心信息。这样的句子就符合圆周句的特征。

Why people are prepared to tolerate a four-hour journey each day for the dubious privilege of living in the country is beyond me.

人们为什么情愿每天在路上奔波四个小时去换取值得怀疑的乡间的优点，我是无法理解的。（选自《新概念英语3》第41课）

分析：这句话的中心信息（is beyond me）到句尾才出现，前面是why引导的一个主语从句。读者在阅读前面的信息时不能理解这句话要表达什么意思，一直看到最后才恍然大悟。这样的句子也是典型的圆周句。

在松散句中，作者在句子的开头会首先给出中心信息，因而读者看到最初的几个词就能知道这句话的大意，随后句子附加大量的修饰语或细节用于补充说明。松散句有时因为太长，包含的附加信息太多，也会干扰到读者对句子的理解。

例1 Fortunately for them， the Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladies which deals with claims from people who fed their money to a machine or to their dog.

对于英国人来说，值得庆幸的是英国银行有一个残钞鉴别组，负责处理那些把钱塞进机器或塞给狗的人提出的索赔要求。（选自《新概念英语3》第7课）

分析：在这句话中，作者想要传递的中心意思“英国银行有一个组”（the Bank of England has a team）在句首就直截了当地说出了，之后作者对“这是一个什么样的组”进行追加叙述。作者先用过去分词短语called Mutilated Ladies作第一层定语，告诉读者这个组的名字叫什么。然后作者通过一个定语从句（which deals with claims from people）进一步说明这个组的职能是“处理人们的索赔要求”。在第二层定语中，作者还附加了一个子定语从句（who fed their money to a machine or to their dogs）来表达“是什么样的人（提出了索赔要求）”。这句话中，在中心意思提出后，后面的附加修饰成分可谓一层接一层，给人一种“松松垮垮”的感觉，因此这样的句子被称为松散句。

例2 The modern city consists of monstrous edifices and of dark， narrow streets full of petrol fumes and toxic gases， torn by the noise of the taxicabs， lorries and buses， and thronged ceaselessly by great crowds.

大得吓人的高楼和阴暗狭窄的街道组成了今日现代化的城市。街道上充斥着汽油味和有毒气体，出租汽车、卡车、公共汽车的噪音刺耳难忍，络绎不绝的人群挤来挤去。（选自《新概念英语4》第16课）

分析：这句话的中心信息是句首的“The modern city consists of monstrous edifices and of dark， narrow streets”，随后作者用了三个短语（“full of …”“torn by …”和“thronged ceaselessly by …”）作并列定语，进一步描述streets是怎么样的。读者在读这句话时会感觉越往句子后面读，句子的内容和中心信息就距离越远，这样的句子也属于典型的松散句。

通过上面的例句，我们对两种高级句式有了更多的了解。圆周句就是把最关键的内容置于句末，不读完全句，读者就无法理解句意，而且在句末信息出现之前，句子在语法上也是不完整的。在阅读这类句子的过程中，读者一直有种被吊着胃口的感觉，迫切地想捕捉句尾的重点信息。这就是圆周句的巧妙所在——通过设置悬念来激发读者的兴趣，牢牢抓住读者的注意力，从而提升整句话的吸引力和感染力。此外，圆周句以重点信息收尾，突出了整个句子的完整性，因此句子结构往往显得严谨有力。这种句式一般在正式的书面文体中出现较多。

松散句的特点则完全相反：句子的主体内容在一开头就呈现，而且在语法上可以形成完整的句子，后面的部分对句子的主体进行补充说明。与圆周句相比，松散句的结构显得不那么紧凑。尽管如此，松散句却是英语表达中更常用的一种句式，因为英语中经常使用定语从句、伴随状语等补充信息来进行进一步的阐述和说明。许多以超长定语从句结尾或者以多重伴随状语结尾的句子都属于松散句。

通常来说，英语更倾向于使用松散句，而汉语则倾向于使用圆周句。英语句子具有句首封闭性和句尾开放性的特点，被称为“孔雀式”，即把重要信息置前，然后在后面尽情地补充说明；汉语的句式特点则刚好相反，大都具有句首开放性和句尾封闭性的特点，被称为“狮子式”，即把重要信息置后，如同狮子般有力地收尾，句子的前面则可以放置一些次要信息。换句话说，英语更多的是把重心放在句子前面，直接切入主题，而汉语更倾向于把重心放在句子后面，在点题之前作周密的准备和充分的铺垫。因此，在进行汉英和英汉转换的时候，我们不能一味地把一种语言的语序照搬到另一语言，而是要考虑到不同语言的表达习惯。

在英语写作的过程中，写作者如果能恰当运用上述两种高级句式，必定会提升文章的可读性和艺术性。下面我们以一个常见的写作话题为例，来探讨如何将上述两种高级句式运用到具体的写作中。

比如要写一篇关于“网络时代利弊”的作文，你可能想表达这样的内容：“我很难理解为什么那么多人愿意放弃人与人之间的直接沟通，而整天沉溺于电子产品，迷恋网络。”很多人的第一反应是平铺直叙，可能会写出下面这段话：“I don’t understand why so many people are willing to sacrifice direct person-to-person communication to indulge in electronic products and the internet.”这样由I don’t understand引导的句子显得平淡无奇，很难抓住读者的眼球，更难赢取读者的心。如果我们考虑到这句话所强调的信息是why引导的那部分内容，而不是当事人“我”，那也许可以把why引导的部分调到句首，采用圆周句的句式来写，这样就更能给人耳目一新的感觉：“Why so many people are willing to sacrifice direct person-to-person communication to indulge in electronic products and the internet is quite inaccessible to me.”仿照前文给出的例2的句子，这句话也可以这样表达：“Why so many people are willing to sacrifice direct person-to-person communication to indulge in electronic products and the internet is quite beyond me.”

再比如，作文中可能需要表达这样的内容：“网络是当下沉溺于电子产品的年轻人的主要交流方式，而这却是很多老年人所反感的，他们强调人与人之间直接沟通的重要性。”要表达这个长句，很多人的第一反应是解剖成若干短句来写：“The internet has proved to be the leading means of communication among young people. These young people are addicted to electronic products. However， senior citizens are strongly opposed to this. They emphasize the importance of personal communication.”这样的句子虽然把内容都表达了出来，但是显得支离破碎，埋没了重点信息，而且过多短句或简单句的机械堆砌不能增添文章的美感。考虑到文章的重点是网络在当下的盛行，我们可以试着把“网络是当下年轻人的主要交流方式”这一部分作为焦点信息调到句首，后面可以再层层推进并加以修饰，漂亮的松散句一挥而就：“The internet has proved to be the leading means of communication among young people who are addicted to electronic products， a practice that senior citizens， who emphasize the importance of personal communication， are strongly opposed to.”

由此可见，圆周句有圆周句的特长，松散句有松散句的妙处。为了达到既简洁有力又严密周详的语言效果，写作者在具体写作时可以用两种句式相互衬托，使文章错落有致。

英语电影赏析 篇4

《噩梦工厂：battleground》----史蒂芬金

模型突击队，小小的玩偶，却带着满腔怒火与真人对抗，小小的身躯因顽强而变得强大。一路的战场，满地的伤，摧毁不了他们内心的战场，他们用誓死的抵抗坚持到生命最后一秒……真人用刺刀插入模型突击队员的身体用刺刀挑起他们小小的身体，用电梯门夹爆模型突击队长的脑袋，用最残忍的手段摧毁他们，最后还是输掉了性命……这一场人模大战的战场，也是人与人之间的战场，输赢在双方，同时消亡的生命里释放。人类的战场没有输赢，只有你死我亡，战场的本质，就是送来死亡……，战场没有实质的强弱，只有谁更顽强，战场的能量就是让软弱消亡。看美国系列剧《噩梦工厂》总是会有触动内心的感受。正如看美国系列剧《恐怖大师》，无论看多少次都会被其中的故事感动也许，有一颗伤疤的灵魂才会与黑色的故事碰撞，从而产生悲伤的共鸣。

《battleground》设计得最为巧妙的是，没有一句对白，故事全靠威廉•赫特的表情和动作进行推动。无论是打开玩具盒子时的困惑，或发现玩具杀手集团之后的轻蔑，以及最后陷入绝境之后的狂暴，威廉•赫特都演绎得惟妙惟肖。从头到尾其实都是他一人在演戏，因为我们知道绝对不可能真的有活着的兵人在跟他演对手戏。想到这点，威廉•赫特真不是浪得虚名。另一个值得称道的是本片的特效制作。小兵人的一举一动都栩栩如生，还有在杀手家里乱飞的子弹、炮弹、直升机，都看不出丝毫破绽。《battleground》是故事性很强、视觉享受非常过瘾的一则故事。

《battleground》这部电影给我触动很大，在上英语电影赏析课之前我看过的国外电影很少，只限于少数几部大片，但是看过《battleground》之后我对欧美电影产生了很大的兴趣，每周的英语电影赏析课也成为了我最期待的课程之一，播放的影片许多我都没听过，但是无论是内容还是制作商都十分精彩。当时看《battleground》时我惊奇于那栩栩如生的玩具战士，当时我在想这些战士是真人演的之后经过处理，还是完全由电脑特效制作的，再联想到其他国外电影的精彩特效，我第一次对国外的先进技术产生无比浓厚的向往与好奇；同时，我震惊于导演巧妙的构思，整部电影没有一句台词，当是所要表达的内容却十分充分，而且给人的影响十分深刻和震撼，而我想到的更多的是一种自由开放的思想，联想到《盗梦空间》、《黑客帝国》等科幻片，里面的内容思想，让我影响最深刻的就是自由。通过电影，我对西方国家的自由生活真的非常向往。可以说《battleground》给我打开的一扇窗，让我从此追着欧美电影看，沉迷于影片内容，沉迷于影片的特效，沉迷于导演的构思，对，就是沉迷！

高中英语诗歌审美特征赏析 篇7

一、韵律美

“韵律实 际上就是 节奏的律 动所产生 的一种情 调和意味”。英文诗歌的美首先表现为韵律美, 通过音效模式形成一种音乐性的韵律美, 韵律所求的是声音的回环美, 这种回环美的形式与内心的情意交织共鸣, 形成水乳交融的效果, 从而增强整首诗歌的美感, 达到“内在的韵律是自然情绪的消长”的效果。常言道:“三分诗, 七分读。”声情并茂地诵读能够读出其韵律之优美、其节奏之明快、其意境之新奇, 读出其抑扬顿挫读出其精深华妙, 读出其气韵流转, 读出其声乐般的艺术效果, 切实领会“心有灵犀一点通”的共鸣之妙, 感知诗歌的音节数、音步数, 音律节奏、韵律节奏, 重音、轻音和停顿, 如抑扬格、扬抑格、抑抑扬格和韵律, 如行尾韵、行内押韵、行首韵等体味语言的节奏美、音节美、音律美。如在儿童诗中, wordbird;sing, ring;brass, glass;broke, goat等分别押 韵 /藜:d/, /I耷/, /s/, 藜u/, 形成了和谐的行尾韵;不断重复句型, 使整个诗歌显得结构整齐、节奏明快、韵律和谐、语言精练、朗朗上口。相同韵脚的语音流彼此应答, 前呼后应, 环环相扣, 周而复始, 循环不息;相同元音或辅音的多次复现, 组成了诗歌的搭配协调的韵律节奏群, 犹如潮汐一样起伏不息、涨落不止, 这样诗歌的语音美、音乐美的效果就体现出来了。

二、意境美

意境美是诗歌的另一审美特征。所谓的“意”就是作者的主观意志和情感, 即作者通过文学作品想要表达的感情;境就是自然环境与社会环境。意境就是意和境的有机结合, 也是作者的主观情感与客观生活的结合, 情中有景, 景中有情, 亦即情景交融。教学和鉴赏诗歌一定要悟意境, 赏诗之美境。教材摘选了数首五行诗, 其由五行组成, 寥寥数语, 言简意赅, 用少量的词语传递出一幅动人的、内涵丰富而深远的画面。它虽非传统的英语诗歌, 但为英语国家的人们所喜爱, 寥寥数语就能呈现一幅清晰的画面, 表达一种特殊的感情。例如A falleblossom is coming back to the branch.Look, abutterfly! (by Moritake) 这首诗包含了丰富的信息 , 有花和蝴蝶的色彩、形象、动作, 等等, 将春天的一个瞬间美景渲染得如此生机勃勃。作者欲扬先抑, 先说是落花, 再说是蝴蝶, 把蝴蝶比喻成落花, 先静后动, 先描写无生命的意象, 再描写有生命的意象, 将有生命的意象和无生命的意象有机结合, 相辅相成, 合二为一, 并用有生命的意象点题, 使读者感慨万千, 折服于作者匠心独具的构思, 叹服于作者“平字见奇, 陈字见新”的意胜境界。

三、力美

力美也是英文诗歌的审美特征。诗歌是一种表达情感的综合艺术形式, 作者在诗歌中表达的强烈情感往往形成一种力美。因此, 读诗伊始, 伴随着意象在脑海的形成和语音节奏感的刺激, 读者产生初步的力美感觉, 感到精神的愉悦。例如教材选用了唐诗《望夫石》的英译版, 诗歌寥寥数词勾勒出了一幅望夫石生动感人的图画。这里有浩浩不断的江水, 江畔屹立着望夫山, 山头伫立着状如女子翘首远眺的巨石。山, 无语伫立;水, 不停地流去。山、水、石, 动静相间, 相映生辉, 形象之鲜明, 自不待言。值得注意的是, 诗歌“韵外之致, 言外之旨”的特征, 使巨石蕴涵了丰富的思想内容, 且融入了诗人的深挚情意。如Where she awaits her husband /On and on the river flow (望夫处 , 江悠悠 ) 写出望夫石千年以来的地理环境和气氛“悠悠”二字 , 描绘江水千古奔流 , 滔滔不绝 , 既交代了故事发生的背景, 渲染了浓郁的抒情气氛, 又衬托了望夫石的形象把静立江边的石头写活:仿佛是一尊有灵性的石雕傍江而立翘首远望, 赋予其鲜活生命, 夫妻间刻骨铭心的思念和执著而永恒的守望。这种以动景衬静物的手法, 不仅使画面生动, 有立体感, 而且暗喻了思妇怀远、思念之情的绵绵不绝。Nevelooking back, transformed into stone ( 化为石 , 不回头 ) 巧妙引用了传说中望夫石的典故, 表明人已物化, 变为石头;赋予石能通灵, 曲尽人意, 旨在人与物合, 情与景谐, 达到情景交融、物我两忘的境界。这不仅形象地描画出望夫石的生动形象, 同时把思妇登临的长久, 想念的深切, 对爱情的忠贞不渝刻画得淋漓尽致。

综上所述, 诗歌是承载人类感情的艺术品, 是追求真善美的统一, 是人类心灵共同的祈向。在英语诗歌教学中, 让学生沉浸在诗歌中所描绘的艺术境界中去感受诗歌美、领悟美、表达美, 从而逐步培养和提高学生品读诗歌、领悟和拓展诗歌的审美特征的能力。

浅谈高中英语阅读赏析教学方略 篇8

（一）教学思维定势，模式单一。长期的照本宣科很容易让学生们失去学习的兴趣，对英语的阅读赏析也会仅仅停留在字面上的含义，很难发散自己的思维去探究其内在寓意，不能对整个阅读材料进行整体的把握，更难对整篇阅读文章进行重难点阅读和理解，进而影响到解题的准确度。

（二）着重书面上的基础知识，缺乏关于阅读能力以及理解模式的培养。对于每个人来说，都有自己的学习方法，那么对于英语的阅读赏析也会有适合自己的模式，很多高中老师一味地要求学生们掌握教学大纲上的基础知识，忽视了培养学生们阅读理解能力，在很大程度上促使学生们生搬硬套，不能良好地总结关于英语阅读方面的解题技巧以及运用，从而影响到英语学习的效果。

（三）忽视新单词的衍生，如近义词、反义词等。很多高中老师都会让学生们自己去预习新课，在正式上新课的时候就不会再去细讲新单词的含义，直接在阅读的同时将新单词的意思翻译，没有引导学生们去猜生词的含义，无法训练学生们猜测阅读过程中出现新单词的能力。此外，有一些单词的含义还会随境而异，老师们不能单纯地给定一些普通的含义。

（四）着重对整篇文章的理解，较少提及对阅读方法的概况。通过调查发现，很多高中老师在讲解英语阅读时，都比较喜欢通篇翻译某篇英语阅读，进而再来讲解，忽视对阅读英语材料所需要的方法和技巧的传授。学生们受到局限，很难从一篇英语阅读去展开提高整个英语阅读的赏析能力，不利于学生们的英语学习。

二、高中英语阅读赏析教学方法的探讨

（一）选择合适的阅读材料。在选材的时候需要结合学生们的阅读能力水平、材料内容和材料本身的难度、题材等，如可以多涉猎有趣的民间故事、幽默笑话、名人轶事、历史趣等，通过长时间的训练可以提高学生们英语阅读的水平和学习的信心与兴趣。

（二）应当重视课外阅读的引进。随着高考的临近，学生们学习的力度在加大，对于英语的学习也在加深，引进适量的课外阅读，可以扩大学生们的阅读面，通过阅读各种类型的英语材料，有助于在此过程中积累较多的语言知识，进而较快获取材料中的信息。随着深入，需要逐步加大阅读材料的难度，如科技方面的、关于异域风俗等，进而引导学生们从心理上喜欢英语的阅读。此外，在英语阅读的教学中，老师们还需要有意地强化整篇阅读材料的结构、主旨、内涵的链接，相信通过老师的教学和丰富的阅读材料可以在很大程度上扩大学生们的词汇。

（三）重视学习的自主性，现代教学不再是刻板的应试教学，老师需要采用科学的教学方法，引导学生们在“做中学，学中会”，在传授学习方法的同时，也让学生们获得运用的能力，因此应当根据不同的需要来采取不同的教学方法。我们广泛运用的几种阅读方法如下：

1.略读。主要是指在阅读整篇文章时只是粗略的浏览，挑拣重点理解以解答有针对性的问题，为细节性的阅读做好准备。该方法较为简单，一般针对目的、主旨性的提问，老师在教学中就需要着重培养学生们找主旨句的能力，找寻衔接各段落之间的句子或者单词，以了解材料的含义，进而获取提问信息。

2.跳读。主要是指先浏览材料后面的提问，带着问题跟选项来阅读材料，以在材料中获取答案的方法。我们常见的有关于时间、金钱、年代、人名、动物或者地点等，这些都是能够在材料中一目了然的关键点，只要找到相应的句子，就能够很快地找到相应的答案，有助于为我们节省时间。

3.细读。主要是针对分析总结性的问题，是解答阅读理解的主要方法之一。需要对整篇材料的每个段落进行细读，任何细节性的语言都需要重视，通过对材料的关键信息的掌握，结合相应的事实，具体分析，有助于深层次地理解整篇文章的含义、寓意。

4.概读。相对于略读来说，概读是关注对整个材料的重点要点的掌握和理解，以总结出文章作者的想法、文章的主旨等。

（四）良好地运用所学的各种教学方法。高中英语的教学方法是多种多样的，需要我们结合它们来建构一个适合整个高中英语学习的整合性质的教学方法。很多时候，需要老师们先提出问题，然后学生们带着这个问题去阅读，去思考，进而获取答案，当然有学生回答是衡量一个教学活动好坏的指标，因此，老师们可以结合学生们的回答以掌握整个教学活动的弊端和需要改进的地方，以提高整个教学活动的成效。同时，学生们也锻炼了自己的阅读理解能力和口语。

（五）对于教学方法的检测也需要合适的方法，合适的测试有助于老师们掌握学生们学习的成效，也需要学生们对自己的教学进行反馈，进而促使老师们不断更新自己的教学方法和步骤。一般的检测方法主要有以下几种：

1.完形填空。该类型的题是检测英语教学的主要项目，它主要是采用一篇简短的阅读材料，通过扣取其中一些单词或者短语，然后给出一些与该词意思相近或者写法相近的单词，让学生们四选一，选出正确答案，这个项目有助于了解学生们对阅读材料的掌握程度、了解力度以及平时对单词意思的理解、记忆水平。

2.阅读小短文，回答提问。这个检测可以在课堂上进行，也是比较重要的方法。老师们在采取该方法时，需要预先准备一篇或者两篇小短文，要求学生们在阅读完之后回答自己的提问，这一题型主要是考查学生们对所给出材料的整体把握和细节理解，考查其整合能力。

3.课后阅读。通过布置课后阅读任务，让学生们进行总结记录，有助于了解其实际水平，同时也考查了学生们自学能力和书写能力。

三、结语

阅读教学是整个英语教学中必不可少的环节，学生们通过课堂上的学习以及课后的实践相结合，结合读、看、理解等训练以培养学生们的阅读技能，进而提高自身语言运用的能力。
